Accenture is well known for its PIP and easy way to get rid of employees.

Have any personal experience how often and prevalent these are? Describe your PIP experience, location, and if you were able to fight, pass.

There were some posts about stacked rankings and PIP's. Is this going to be company-wide? Is there a target %?

Post Dan's speech today, one gets the distinct impression that some version of Amazon's PiP culture coming to VZ. Maybe a 6% URA number to keep everyone on their toes?

Any thoughts?

I heard from a reliable source that a well known VP was complaining that too many employees were passing pip. His orders were to make it harder to pass so more employees would leave. My pip plan is very complicated. I completed all my task projects and they keep adding more to it. I protested but they said the pip plan could change depending on performance needs. I contacted HR and got no help at all. I was told the supervisors and managers were in charge. It feels impossible to satisfy the requirements of this pip. Oh well I guess I will retire. I will tell off that smug d-mb a ss supervisor and useless manager when I leave.

Tell us the ridiculous feedback you received from your manager in 1-1 coaching or PIP meetings.

anyone ever get support needed on mid year? What does it mean. Manager told me it’s not a bad thing but need to see a bit of improvement.

PIP here is more about intimidation or saving money than actually helping anyone improve. Most of the people put on one are not even low performers. I’ve seen good people stressed to the point of burnout just because management wants to assert control. It's all bullcr-p.

Performance plan? Nah — it’s HR’s version of a ki-l room.
